SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT A 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY LE IN JAN.04 AND TEST DROVE IT AND IT PULLED TO THE LEFT AND THE SALESPERSON SAID IT WAS TIRE PRESSURE SO THEY ADJUSTED IT. WE DROVE THE CAR A LONG DISTANCE AND THE WHOLE TIME IT PULLED TO THE LEFT. I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA HAS A TSB OUT ON 2003-2004 CAMRY'S WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
2003 CAMRY LE PURCHASED AUGUST 2003. CAR PULLS/VEERS TO LEFT AT SPEEDS BELOW 50-55 MPH. WHEN REACHING SPEEDS ABOVE THIS, THE PULL /VEERING TO THE LEFT IS VERY PRONOUNCED (ESPECIALLY INTERSTATE DRIVING). HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE; THE FIRST VISIT THEY CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE, TIRES, ETC. AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND STATED VARIATIONS IN THE ROADS TRAVELED MAY CAUSE THIS. SECOND VISIT, ROUTINE ITEMS WERE CHECKED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TECHNICIAN COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER TAKING HIM ON A DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE, HE "SAW THE PROBLEM" AND THE CAR WAS LEFT AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON. THEY ADJUSTED ALIGNMENT TO SPECIFICATIONS AND SAID THEY ROTATED THE UPPER SPRING INSULATORS (?). THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. (THEY HAVE BEEN VERY COURTEOUS THROUGHOUT) WAS TOLD THEY HAVE BASICALLY DONE ALL THEY CAN OR KNOW OF, BUT WOULD CONTACT TOYOTA FOR FURTHER IDEAS. THIS STEERING DEFECT CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *NM

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON 1/1/04. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO HAVE LEATHER PUT ON THE SEATS, I TOLD THEM IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT. SUPPOSEDLY THEY ALIGNED THE FRONT END BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT ANYTHING IN THE COMPUTER ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES, SWITCHED THE TIRES, ALIGNED THE FRONT END, PUT A NEW RACK ON IT ETC. ETC. THE LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SHOULD READ THE OWNERS MANUAL ON HOW TO OPERATE IT. I HAVE DEALT WITH THIS FOR 3 MONTHS AND NO SATISFACTION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM I WANTED ANOTHER CAR. THEY GAVE ME ONE TO SEE IF I LIKED IT AND THEN PULLED MINE IN TO WORK ON IT AGAIN AFTER I HAD TOLD THEM NO MORE. THEY CALLED ME TODAY TO TELL ME IT WAS FIXED. RIGHT!!! I HAVE CALLED MY LAWYER. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT I USE FOR NORMAL DRIVING. AT 12000 MILES THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WHEN BRAKING. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT ROTOR WAS WARPED AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND TURNED THE ROTORS AT MY EXPENSE($250). NOW, AT 29000 MILES AND A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER, I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS RUNNING AND I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THE BREAK PEDAL WILL DROP APPROXIMATELY 1 INCH IN ABOUT 1 SECOND. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND SOMEWHAT SCARY. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS NORMAL. I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY HARD TO BELIEVE. I ASKED THEM FOR DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE THAT THIS BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL BUT THEY WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING. *AK
